I wrote a letter to the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social, last week. Letter of the week, this week. The thrust of my letter is, in their resolve to reach our shores, migrants demonstrate a humbling vision of Britain that should shame ‘performative patriots’ affixing Union flags to lampposts.

This video from @politicsjoe.bsky.social sums up Farage perfectly! All the reasons not to vote for him in one song! Thanks for singing it Farage! 😂 #NeverVoteReform #NeverFarage

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law. These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

@martycricket.bsky.social On any other night, going at 9 an over isn’t too shabby. But tonight with 222 to chase, it’s feels wholly inadequate. A disappointing end for Durham. Hampshire’s pretty decent season continues. Purely academic of course, for this Gloucestershire fan.

@martycricket.bsky.social at last year’s q/f between Bears & Glos, I sweet-talked Edgbaston security into allowing me to enter the stadium with 8 cans of Guinness Zero and a plastic receptacle with which to drink out of. I think the offer of taking my rubbish home with me, swung it. Love the comms!

After the incident involving an NHS Worker, who is a British citizen of Filipino origin with 15 years of service being abused whilst walking with her family in W Yorkshire, Nigel Farage should be jailed for inciting racism, violence, hatred, division & riots! #FarageShouldBeArrested

Morning @kevinhowells.bsky.social. Loving the commentary on Cricket’s Match of the Day. Being a Gloucestershire fan, I have to say my favourite Green is Cameron. My favourite Marple is Joan Hickson. Loving the ODC. Considering a Sunday trip to Chelmsford. Up the Shire! & Best Wishes.

Hi @kevinhowells.bsky.social. As regards Day/Night games, Gloucestershire are playing Glamorgan at Seat Unique Stadium (Nevil Rd), Bristol, on Friday 15th August in a day/nighter, commencing at 2pm. Hope to see you there.

The shock and confusion @kevinhowells.bsky.social & Ed Seabourne have created to listeners of Cricket’s Match of the Day. I heard Ed’s dulcet tenor and automatically thought I was listening to the latest chapter of Gloucestershire’s white ball adventures under Jack Taylor. Best regards!

To celebrate Russia’s Navy Day, Ukrainian drones are now attacking Leningrad oblast. Putin was forced to cancel the naval parade at St Petersburg earlier. #explodey

Fascinated by the titles, I recently purchased 2 novels by @sharilapena3k.bsky.social. 2 brilliant, fast-moving novels, expertly crafted, with believable characters. Great reads. Bravo! @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social @transworldbooks.bsky.social

🏳️‍🌈 This Sunday’s T20 clash between Gloucestershire Men and Middlesex is our official Pride Match! For the first time ever, the Club will also be proudly represented at the Bristol Pride march on Saturday 12 July. Find out how you can show your support ⤵️

I love listening to @martycricket.bsky.social and Mr Mark Church. Both gentlemen at the top of their game. But by crikey, this match Surrey v Durham is a hard listen for neutrals. Any updates from Cardiff would be appreciated by this @gloscricket.bsky.social fan. Best regards chaps!

Fed up with Farage? Me too. I’ve signed the Never Nigel Pledge. Add your name today, and help show that division and hate have no place in our communities. secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/170649/... @hopenothate.org.uk

@richpreston.bsky.social Just have to commend your sensitive reporting on the death of Pope Francis. He was considered a moderniser in the church, and a man of deep compassion and love for the poor & marginalised. A sad day indeed. May he rest in peace.

If we’re going to make sure the future isn’t fascist, We need to have a grown up conversation about the political bind we’re in… That at the same time, we want to keep out Reform, but many feel compromised voting Labour to do it. FPTP sucks. We can navigate that, but must actually work together.

@danwhitingcricket.bsky.social & Ed Seabourne on comms for @kentcricket.co.uk v @gloscricket.bsky.social. If Carlsberg did Commentary Teams… Next you’ll be telling me Ian Randall is 3rd commentator and producer. Hope you’re well, chaps.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is a badass... But lets be clear, EVERY day is an embarrassment...

Republicans in Congress can end this any time

British Fascists can get fucked.

Never vote Reform.

We’re at a place where “he” could apply to 5 or 6 men. Or more. Make it stop. #EndFascism

@barackobama.bsky.social Great to see you here, Mr. President.

Great to see you here, @andnickmullins.bsky.social Which team is down to 14 men again? Bears have been brilliant against Exeter.

If you’re reading this column, Elon Musk has messed up.

@taptatorvkplay.bsky.social is a Russian bot. Report and block folks.

@lewisgoodall.com could you remind Chris Philp that Kemi Badenoch had her photo taken with JD Vance only a few weeks ago. How can Chris Philp even have the brass neck to support her and by extension Trump & Vance?

whoever is doing this poster campaign in London well bloody done 🙌

I'm calling on the Speaker to block Trump from addressing Parliament during his unprecedented second State Visit. Will you join me actionstorm.org/petitions/du...

You know, @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social, now would be a marvellous time for this UK government to release the Russia Report. You know, the one that successive Tory governments silenced and buried.

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

If it comes to tearing up an alliance with the US, on whom our full defence capability still rests, we will have to deal with it. Once we commit to backing Ukraine militarily, we must see it through to whatever end, including our troops facing war and death. So, please stop shouting 'DO SOMETHING'

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

The entire democratic world wishes Zelenskyy was their leader, so I would say he is doing an admirable job. Carry on and Thank you for the example.

Today, Monday 17th February, 2025, seems like a lovely day for a Military Coup in the United States.

Hi @norcrosscricket.bsky.social: Do you know if the BBC have signed (or will sign) a deal with the ECB regarding County Cricket coverage for the 2025 season? Only time is getting on and the thought of not having you or @kevinhowells.bsky.social et al keeping us company is giving me a nervous twitch.

Saturday 15th February 2025 seems like a lovely day for a military coup in the US.

My current read. A Cold Wind From Moscow is brilliant. Chapeau Rory Clements @zaffrebooks.bsky.social

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com I believe, Mr. Lewis, there is an imposter on Bluesky masquerading as you. The only difference is an extra ‘n’ in the Bluesky handle. Hope you can get it shut down. For my part I will report it. Have a good evening.
